Contains

Test if an array-like value contains a search value.

Usage

var contains = require( '@stdlib/assert/contains' );

contains( val, searchValue[, position] )

Tests if val contains a search value. When val is a string, the function checks whether the characters of a search string are found in the input string.

var v = contains( 'Hello World', 'World' );
// returns true

When val is an array-like object, but not a string, the function checks whether the input value contains an element strictly equal to the specified search value.

var arr = [ null, NaN, 2, 'abc', {} ];

var v = contains( arr, NaN ); // NaNs are considered equal
// returns true

v = contains( arr, {} );
// returns false

v = contains( arr, 'ab' );
// returns false

Search is case-sensitive.

var v = contains( 'Hello World', 'world' );
// returns false

To start searching at a specified index, provide a position argument.

var v = contains( 'Hello World', 'Hello', 6 );
// returns false

v = contains( [ true, NaN, false ], true, 1 );
// returns false

If not provided an array-like object, the function throws an error.

var v = contains( false, 'abc' );
// throws <TypeError>

If not provided an integer-valued position argument, the function throws an error.

var v = contains( 'hello', 'e', 2.5 );
// throws <TypeError>

Notes

• For strings, the function is modeled after String.prototype.includes, part of the ECMAScript 6 specification. This function is different from a call to String.prototype.includes.call insofar as type-checking is performed for all arguments.
• The function does not distinguish between positive and negative zero.
• If position < 0, the search is performed for the entire input array or string.

Examples

var contains = require( '@stdlib/assert/contains' );

var bool = contains( 'last man standing', 'stand' );
// returns true

bool = contains( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 2 );
// returns true

bool = contains( 'presidential election', 'president' );
// returns true

bool = contains( [ NaN, 2, 3, 4 ], NaN );
// returns true

bool = contains( 'javaScript', 'js' );
// returns false

bool = contains( 'Hidden Treasures', '' );
// returns true
